Hi Mary k
I have just been to see the nutritionist this morning....and I have been without any flare ups for few months, which is fantastic! although I am suffering with severe rib and bone pain.
The nutritionist/dietitian has been giving me advice to introduce foods slowly, so food that I haven't eaten in over year and half will gradually be reintroduced ! one at a time ! I just hope things don't go pear shape 6 months or so down the road ! Bone pain is my main problem and ribs, so the last thing I need is to become ill again!
The dietician seemed supprised that I had my own lists of foods I don't eat and foods I do eat which are safe foods ? I told her when you have been ill with crohns you learn to listen to your body and eat what you know is safe. In my experience I found that doctors do not have all the answers and you do have to get on with things yourself a lot.
Good luck with your son, maybe you could ask for a nutritionist for him ? I asked a few times befor it was arranged for me. |
